[Intro] Well... here we go again. [Verse 1] They found me dancing with the midnight rain, Talking to the window like it knew my name. White coats waiting underneath the light, I said, "Gentlemen, I’m doing just fine tonight." There’s a storm in the ceiling, There’s a fire in the floor, Every little voice keeps knocking at the door. I tried to run, but I lost my way, So I checked myself in and decided to stay. [Pre-Chorus] Straight jacket was a life jacket, keeping a drowning mind afloat Straight jacket was a life jacket, anchoring a soul in a stormy room [Chorus] Straight jacket was a life jacket! (Hey! Hey!) Saving me from my own skin-in-in! Padded walls and electric night, let the show begin-in-in! You lock the door, I feel the spark, We’re screaming, screaming and screaming in the dark! Yeah, straight jacket was a life jacket tonight! [Post-Chorus] Tonight! Oh, what a beautiful night... [Verse 2] Doctor says, "Son, you’re losing control." I said, "Doc, I think I finally found my soul." Nurse came running with a needle in hand, I said, "Baby, you don’t understand." The walls are soft and the ceiling is white, Little silver lightning dancing all night. Angels wear keys and they lock from the outside, But I’ve got nowhere left to run and nowhere left to hide. [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Maybe the storm was never outside, Maybe the thunder was living inside. Maybe the walls were the safest place, When I couldn't recognize my own face. If madness is the ocean, Then let me sink tonight... [Build] Because I finally understand— I was never drowning... I was learning how to swim! [Final Chorus] Straight jacket was a life jacket! (HEY! HEY!) Saving me from my own skin-in-in! Padded walls and electric night, let the show begin-in-in! You lock the door, I feel the spark, We’re screaming, screaming and screaming in the dark! [Final Chorus Refrain] Life jacket! (HEY! HEY!) Life jacket! Keep me afloat! Keep me alive! SCREAMING! SCREAMING! SCREAMING IN THE DARK! [Outro] Yeah... Straight jacket was a life jacket...
